Let me qualify that statement,
Under the umbrella of aesthetics, as i sense it(" the middle and the two
 extremes values) lie all potential subjective choices where one may be
"unique" pleasure to one ,but that same one displeasure to another.

Not for me. You've suggested this before, Mando -- that all sensation is
aesthetic. It seems to me this quasi-pantheistic notion obliterates the distinction between aesthetic experience and all sorts of daily, hum-drum experiences like this very typing that I'm doing. Sure, you can probably point
at
aspects common to all, but I take the point of studying aesthetics to be to
identify what is unique to aesthetic experience.
